Hi All

One of the jobs in my application is having a problem. It abends on getting an empty file. So i added the following condition to my job.
Code:

//*                                         
//EMPTY1  EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL                 
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*                       
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                       
//IN      DD DSN=IN16045.TEST.FILE,DISP=SHR
//TOOLIN  DD *                             
  COUNT FROM(IN) LOWER(1) RC 8             
//             


but it is giving the following error.

SYNCTOOL RELEASE 1.5.2 - COPYRIGHT 2004 SYNCSORT INC.
INITIAL PROCESSING MODE IS "STOP"
"TOOLIN" INTERFACE BEING USED

COUNT FROM(IN) LOWER(1) RC 8
INVALID OPERAND ON "COUNT" STATEMENT
OPERATION COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 12

PROCESSING MODE CHANGED FROM "STOP" TO "SCAN" DUE TO OPERATION FAILURE

SYNCTOOL PROCESSING COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 12


Can anyone help me regarding this?

COUNT can be used to set a RC of 0, 4, or 12. Please change your TOOLIN statement accordingly. For example:
Code:
//TOOLIN  DD *                             
  COUNT FROM(IN) LOWER(1) RC4
